Post by Albert Kahn Legacy Foundation

Preserving and Promoting the Legacy of an American Icon

Two homes. Two eras. One architectural legend. Albert Kahn’s fingerprints are everywhere in Detroit, from the grandeur of the Fisher Building to the grit of the Packard Plant. His quieter legacy steps into the spotlight with two Kahn-designed residences hitting the market in Detroit, each a masterclass in style, structure and story. One is a 1928 Tudor mansion in Grosse Pointe Farms, once home to music publisher Jerome Remick, now a limestone-and-Pewabic-tiled sanctuary with cherubic angels in the windows and a carriage house. The other is a 1902 Craftsman in Indian Village, likely drawn by Kahn himself before his firm ballooned to 500 employees. It’s a starter home turned architectural heirloom, walkable to West Village and fortified like a factory. Foundation board members Jacob Jones and Michael G.
